Description

The Imperium's answer to large scale infantry combat,these machine-guns would take positions that would allow them to pin down hundreds of enemy forces,allowing the legionnaires to advance.

The machine gun's high fire rate is both a strength and a weakness,as it tends to overheat the barrel if fired automatically without pause,the barrel would get damaged and cause the entire gun to jam if not allowed to cool.The high recoil of the weapon forces troops to take static positions to unleash a "hailstorm" of  Ubranim bullets.

This means that machine gun teams can cover a 180 degree angle but without legionnaires to support them they would easily be flanked and overrun.The machine gun itself is heavy and can be carried by a single Varanus,while races with less physical strength support each-other in carrying the 50 inch machine-gun made of Imperial Durasteel.
